NES Religious Studies
At The Nottingham Emmanuel School, Religious Studies helps every learner understand and value the part faith plays in our world. Rooted in our Christian vision, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’ (Philippians 4:13), our curriculum explores Christianity as a living, global faith, alongside other religious and non-religious worldviews. Through theology, philosophy and the social sciences, pupils look at what people believe, how those beliefs are expressed and how they shape lives and society. They learn to interpret texts carefully, weigh arguments fairly and reflect on their own worldview. Our values run through it all: Wisdom in thinking critically and seeking truth, Hope in asking big questions about meaning and purpose, Community in listening to and learning from people who see the world differently, and Dignity in respecting every person as made in the image of God. The result is pupils who are religiously literate, curious and compassionate, ready to flourish and to serve others in a diverse world.
Religious Education: Statement of Entitlement for Church of England Schools
This Church of England Statement of Entitlement for Religious Education sets out the minimum expectations that pupils in a Church school should expect to receive in their RE learning. It is intended as a foundation on which to build secure RE practice.
The Church of England Statement of Entitlement for Religious Education is a key document for all Church schools. Accountability is ensured through the SIAMS inspection process, which takes this document as its point of reference for expectations in RE.
